7 REASONS YOU SHOULD KEEP A FITNESS DIARY

I am a big fan of a fitness diary, especially  if you are a beginner.  I started one after having Mr 2 because I was working out and it felt like it wasn’t making a difference. So I figured if I could look back over what I had done that week I could see what worked and what didn’t. Then I learnt I was having more days off than actually getting off my butt and working out.  I was able to adjust my habits. So by keeping the diary it made me more accountable and was there in black and white what I had done for the week. If I did nothing on a day I wrote too lazy then the goal became not to have 2 days or more in a week with too lazy written on them.

HERE ARE SOME MORE GREAT REASONS YOU SHOULD KEEP A FITNESS DIARY:

1. It keeps you accountable.

2. Helps you see your habits (good or bad).

3. Extra focus on your goals.

4. Shows you what works for you & what doesn’t work for you.

5. Helps you keep track of your food habits.

6. Tracks you motivation.

7. Shows you on paper what a great effort you put in this week, or how slack you in fact are!

I pen in each day what exercises I want to do for the week. When I do it I come home and tick it off, I’m not obsessed I’m just keen. Like I said if I do nothing on a day that isn’t a rest day I write TOO LAZY because that’s the truth. If I have 5 days in a week of good workout’s I get a reward! Yep I go buy myself something, or get a pedicure  or just something nice for just me to say to myself good job biatch! But do not fall into the trap of rewarding yourself with food, you are not a dog! If you say to yourself I worked out today I can have a burger for tea, hard work undone! You probably will be hungrier on workout days so make good choices. Don’t for get the tab above with a page of all my clean eating ideas for breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert.
